Looks like Telus is set to launch two new superphones very - and we're not talking about the iPhone 4S. It's the HTC Amaze 4G which is officially coming soon according to this page and the Samsung Galaxy S II X which could be released on October 19th. They both pack great spec sheets and the Amaze 4G is said to sport an advanced 8MP camera which may rival the 4S's camera. We'll find out shortly!

LG may have actually just spoiled the Apple event with their latest announcement. They decided that today was a great day to announce the LG Optimus LTE which is packing a great spec sheet for a superphone. This one features a 4.5-inch IPS display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution, a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, LTE (4G) connectivity, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, a 16GB microSD card pre-installed, an HDMI output, DLNA, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". It's definitely much higher-end than that iPhone 4S so you might want to consider it for your next purchase - unless you're waiting for the Nexus Prime next week.

The price is unknown right now but it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is headed to T-Mobile USA on October 26th which is in a few weeks. The tablet, obviously, sports a 10.1-inch display, dual cameras, a dual-core CPU, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a thin profile, and Android "Honeycomb". Look out for it soon.

Looks like Cincinnati Bell has released their latest and greatest Android smartphone. This one is now available on the carrier for $199.99 on a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. In case you forgot, the Sensation packs a 4.3-inch qHD display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, Bluetooth / WiFi support, and Android 2.3 with the Sense UI. Check it out on Cincinnati Bell.

It's a good day if you're looking for the BlackBerry Curve 9350. Sprint has just released it for $49.99 on a 2-year contract - matches the T-Mobile price. This handset sports a QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera, an 800MHz CPU, an 11mm body, NFC, and OS 7.0. Check it out on Sprint.

This handset may already be available in the US unlocked for around $425 and it looks like it's headed North of the border. Telus in Canada has just announced that this will exclusively be hitting their network before the holiday season this year. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA ray features a 3.3-inch WVGA display, a 1GHz CPU, an 8.1MP camera, a front-facing camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a 9.4mm thin body, and Android "Gingerbread" with the company's custom UI. The price is still unknown right now.

Apple's awaited event has come and gone but it was one to remember. Tim Cook, the new CEO, showed up to announce a bunch of new things. First off, he announced that Lion was downloaded 6 million times which is a great number for digital downloads. Afterwards, Tim boasted numbers for their iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices which are pretty astonishing. An unexpected twist happened when Apple announced the new "Cards" app which will allow you to create a card on your iPhone and Apple will do the rest: print it out and mail it for you. All for $2.99 in the US.

Moving along, they recapped the great parts about iOS 5 which you should already know about: new Notifications, iMessage, Twitter integration, Reminders, Newsstand, improved Camera, Tabbed Browsing, etc. Along with mentioning Find my iPhone, there's also a new feature called Find my Friends which does what it says. Oh yes, of course, they briefly mentioned iCloud again and 5GB of storage will be free!

Apple decided that the first thing they would announce would be a new iPod Nano. Since Apple noticed that a bunch of people last year were using the Nano as a watch, they decided to add 16 new clock faces so you'll be able to stay fresh. The 8GB model will be $129 and the 16GB model will be $149. It'll be available today.

Next up is the new iPod Touch which will, obviously, have iOS 5 at launch. It's touted as having an ultra-thin design, a gyroscope, a Retina Display, and as the number 1 portable game player. 8GB for $199, 32GB for $299, and 64GB for $399. It'll be available in black and white on October 12th. Oh, there's also a new Shuffle which is 2GB and costs $49.

Now, the good stuff! Apple has also announced the iPhone 4S - it's official! This one has a similar design to the 4 and sports an 8MP camera (with a Hybrid IR filter, face detection, better colour accuracy, etc.) with 1080p video recording, HSPA+ (14.4Mbps), Siri (voice control), and iOS 5 with the dual-core A5 CPU - same as the iPad 2. Yeah, it'll reportedly be great at playing games so they demoed Infinity Blade 2 which looked very impressive. Yes, they also boasted battery life, a new antenna system, and the fact that it's a world phone - finally! So, the 8GB iPhone 3GS is now free on a 2-year contract, while the 8GB iPhone 4 will be $99.

On October 14th, the 4S will be available in the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan for $199 (16GB), $299 (32GB), and $399 (64GB). Yes, it'll hit Sprint, geez! Seriously!? That's it, a mediocre update. I was hoping for more Apple!
